falling living standards the productivity problem must be addressed.

«Smither's conclusions are made more credible by his effective refutation of alternative theories of declining productivity growth and by his unparalleled understanding of underlying data sources. His is a passionate voice pointing out why this this overlooked problem needs to be urgently addressed. But it is also a professional voice, based on insights from a long professional career, which suggests some eminently practical solutions to that problem. Read it and be convinced by both voices.»
